You may have been on the fence about selling all summer, but now is truly the best time to put your home on the market. Keeping Current Matters gives us the top five reasons why you shouldn’t wait to sell your home.

Demand is strong

Buyers are ready, willing and able to purchase, so take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market!

There is less competition now

In most areas, there are not enough homes for sale to satisfy the number of buyers in that market. However, it won’t stay that way for long!

As builders regain confidence in the market, new construction of single-family homes is projected to increase over the next two years, reaching historic levels by 2017. More inventory means less competition for you!

The choices buyers have will continue to increase. Don’t wait until more inventory of homes comes to market before you sell!

The process will be quicker

As the market continues to strengthen, banks will be inundated with loan inquiries, causing loan closing-time lines to lengthen.

Selling now will make the process quicker & simpler.

There will never be a better time to move up

If you’ve been considering upgrading into your dream home, now is the time to do it! Prices are expected to appreciate by 5.3% over the next year.

You can also lock-in your 30-year housing expense with an interest rate below 4% right now, as rates are projected to increase in the next 12 months.

It’s time to move on with your life

Only you can decide whether it is worth it to sell now. What are the personal benefits? What are the personal drawbacks? A Ruhl&Ruhl Realtor can help you answer any questions you may have along the way, but ultimately, the decision is up to you.

Bottom Line: As a seller, you are in the driver’s seat right now. It might be time to hit the gas. Inventory of homes for sale is well below historic norms and buyer demand is skyrocketing. The best time to sell something is when supply of that item is low and demand is high.
